Incineration Applications

With worldwide focus on recovering the maximum waste-to-energy possible, waste processing is an important growth market for stationary shredder technology. Numerous technologies now exist to produce fuels and energy from waste. Incineration is the most common waste-to-energy conversion but to maintain a consistent flow, increase combustion efficiency and reduce costs, it is essential that the waste is pre-shredded.

The most common, and current standard, method for measuring Total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) is the use of a Flamed Ionisation Detector (FID). This gives a representative value of the total carbon content of a gas stream, as the FID cannot tell which specific organic compounds are present.

20% to 26% of all people living with HIV and 29% to 43% of all those infected with the hepatitis C virus, and 40% of all those who had tuberculosis disease passed through correctional facilities.
As the number of people incinerated increase around the world, the issues associated with prison waste is also on the rise.
All waste from correctional facilities should be sterilized in the OZONATOR NG Technology before leaving the prison complex.
The opportunity to reduce waste processing costs at these facilities is apparent and the opportunity to provide inmate work training as operators of the advanced OZONATOR NG Technology is realistic.
An opportunity with multiple long term benefits.

Problem: Build-up on grates, skids, hooks, and carriers reduces paint shop efficiency and often leads to a below-quality finish. Chemical stripping and incineration are effective, but are hard on operating personnel and expose them to hazards.

BS EN 14181 is a quality assurance standard relevant to plants operating under the Large Combustion Plant (LCPD) and Waste Incineration (WID) Directives. Quality Assurance Level 2 (QAL2) of this standard involves the parallel testing of the plant automated measurement systems (AMS) against a certified test house, making measurements with a comparative standard.

In order to stay competitive and to be seen as being environmentally responsible, energy and utility companies are always looking for alternative routes to generate power. One method of doing this is by leveraging waste to energy incineration plants linked to the processing municipal solid waste. During this incineration process, APC residues, which are a mixture of fly ash, organic pollutants (including dioxins and furans), are generated and are classified as hazardous waste and have a detrimental environmental impact. This fly ash is subject to Air Pollution Control as it is contaminated with extremely high concentrations of heavy metals and toxic compounds like dioxins, linked to cancer and other health problems. Tetronics offers valuable waste recovery plants that can eliminate the hazardous element within the fly ash while generating an inert building aggregate with the remaining material.

No matter where ash and dust accumulate, AVA continuous or batch mixers can condition them to a transportable final product for disposal or recycling. The applications range from power plant ash derived from lignite, hard coal, biomass, or waste incineration power plants to filter dusts from steelworks and coking plants through to special applications such as hot or reactive ashes from various processes, such as shale oil production.

In calcination processes, solid intermediates and products are regularly handled in fine powder form. (ex: kaolin or metakaulin). There is a need to separate these very fine powders from the exhaust streams of calciners, fluid bed dryers or incinerators, often at critical temperature conditions

Incinerator slag mainly consists of mineral components, metal scrap and other unburnt materials. With our separation systems we are able to treat both the untreated ash as well as the mixed and contaminated metal fraction. Out of both fraction we can recover a clean aluminum and a heavy metal fraction.

Large amounts of waste are produced in offices; and a lot of it is made up of paper and incinerable waste that should be recycled as far as possible. A vacuum system from Envac can be used to handle this waste easily, and at the same time it adds other value.
